Kanawha had expended over s., 400, and
Wayne county, where no license had been
granted for years, had expended for Grim
inal charges over $500, and BraxtOn
county, where they have prohibition simple

Mr.. McCreery said that the substitute
should be Incorporated in the license law
as it was nothing more than an amend
ment to regulate license, and not prOhi-
hilton measure.
A vote was then taken on the substitute
which resulted in its defeat by vote of Is
to 10.
Mr. Flournoy offered an amendment to
the bill, providing that it should not be
construed to include liquors etc. manufac-
tured in this State and sold at wholesale to
residents of other States where prohibitory
laws did not exist.
Judge Maxwell expressed some doubt
rs to the cOnstitutiOnality of q bill with
such provision, stating that while it did
not prohibit the manufacture of liquors it
cut off the means of dispOsing OF them by
sale.
Before a vote was taken on Senator
FlOurnoy's 3 amendment the Senate took a
recess until 7:30 tonight, and at the night
session the bill was made the special order
for tomorrow at 1890 a. III.
The vote on the final passage of the bill
will be very close. The most of the day
was taken up in the consideration of this
bill and the license bill.

The Effects Of AIendal asxllauus.

ton.
MANY diseases. especially those of the
nervous. system, are the products of
daily renewed mental exhaustion. Bus
mess ayocations often involve an
amount of mental wear and tear very
preiudicial to physical health, and the
Professions. If a-tlso..el---l ,r.ssuo<l, arc
no less destructive to brain and nerve
tissue. It's one of the most important
attributes of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, that it compensates for this undue
loss of tissue, and that it imparts new
energy to the brain and nerves. The
rapidity with which it renews weakened
mental energy and physical vitality is
remarkable, and shows that its invigor-
ating properties are of the highest order.
Besides increasing vital stamina, and
counteracting the effects of mental ex-
haustion, this potential medicine cures
and prevents fever and ague, rheuma-
tism, chronic dyspepsia and constipation,
kidney and uterine weakness and other
complaints. Physicians also commend
it as medicated stimulant and remedy.

DEATH OF j. r. CuRTIs, By Nor
PHINE, AT THE SroRTz HOUSE, Last
Friday, L. Z. Curtis, of Cheshire. o..
arrived in town, went to the Stortz
House and requested Mr.. Tracy, the
clerk, to register his name, as he
was SO nervous that it was impossi-
BILE for him to do so. Being very
well known here, his friends OBJ
served that he was recovering from
the effects of proh,acted debauch.
During the day he visited several of
his acquaintances and friends, and
borrowed from John NJ. Adkins, the
Main street hardware merchant, a
dollar, remarking that he felt very
blue; was sick from the effects of
drink, and that if he ever returned
to his home that he would return
him the amount. At about four
o'clock in the afternoon he went to
G. W. NJ Hooffs drug store, and in
quired if he had any of Powers &
Weightman's morphine. Upon be-
ing answered in the affirmative he
purchased quantity, returned to
the hotel and, procuring a bottle of
beer and glass, retired to his room
at $50 o'clock, and was never seen
until about 10 o'clock Saturday
morning, at which time the chamber
maid raped on his room door, her
object being to enter for the purpose
of cleaning his room, and receiving
no response she turned the knob,
and finding the door unlocked she
entered and found Mr.. Curtis lying
ON the bed apparently asleep, with
all his clothes on, except his coat.
Failing to arouse him, she notified
some of the attaches of the office,
who found, upon examination, that
he was dead. Physicians were sum-
moned, who pronounced life extinct
several hours before the discovery.
DIR. w. S. Hoy, the coroner, was
summoned, who made an examina-
ton of the room and the condition
of the body, and pronounced an in
quest unnecessary. 1t was found
that Curtis had taken thirty-four
grains of morphine in glass of
beer, it was supposed for the pur-
pose of quietlng his nerves, and not
with suicidal intent. His valuables,
consisting of a gold watch and some
money, were found in his clothing.
Mr.. Curtis was postmaster at Chesh-
ire, and from papers found in his
room, he had been absent from home
over a week on spree, having come
to this place from Gallipolis, and had
stated to some of his friends that he
had been in Cincinnati, previous to
coming here. He was n gentleman
well and favorably known in this
community, having resided here
several years ago as one ofthe solic-
itors for Hardesty's Map and His
tory of Mason County. His remains
were taken to Cheshire Saturday
night by his wife and brother for
interment.

BooMs.-Nearly everything is
booming. Thanks to a good, healthy,
conservative Democratic administers
ton. Even our neighboring city of
Gallipolis is trying to get up a boom.
In it's efforts, a meeting of the Board
ofTrade was called. A prominent
member of the Board and the head
ola large manufacturing firm made
a speech, and said that Gallipolis
could only prosper by inviting man
ufactories to locate there. This gem
tleman was appointed on a commit
tee to use every effort in that direc-
ton. Sequel-The manufacturing
firm, of which the aforesaid gentle
man is at the head, immediately-in
the interest of the boom of course
ordered new boiler from Cincin-
natl, without even giving the large
machine shops, already located in
Gallipolis, an opportunity to bid for
its construction. Booml Boom !
Robinson, Boom! We understand,
however, that the true inwardness
of the Boom to be started in Gallip-
oils is purely of a political nature,
and that none but Republicans need
apply, at,least so think Prof. Hard's
friends; as the only thing that can
be brought against that gentleman
is his politics.

VanGilder's Drug Store is in pro-
cess of renovation, and has been
practically in possession of the car
penters and other workmcn for a
good while. To take up an old
floor, level up the joists, straighten
the side of the building, and put
down new floor; to take off an old
ceiling of plaster and put on new
one of iron, and at the same time
carry on business, not closing the
store at all, is certainly a difficult
matter, but it has all been accom-
plished successfully. The new coun-
tiers and wall cases-the latter in
place of shelving-will be ready
soon now, when we will make more
special mention of the improve
ments at this well-known House.
